| Title 1 | The Origin of La Chinata |
|---|---|
| Content 1 | The history of La chinata begins around 1932, when their ancestors began to grind olives from their region: Gata’s mountain range. In those days, olive oil was obtained in rudimentary olive-oil mills. Olives were put into stone mills to be crushed, and a paste came out as a result. Such paste was later on put into a press in order to extract the oil. Paste layers were formed, and they were separated by circular plates. By pressing those plates olive oil was extracted. The olive oil that came from the process was decanted to separate it from the Alpechín: a mixture of water and olive residue. |
